It didn't escape me that much more research went into this episode than most viewers will have any clue. These characters, ideologies and events are based more on real people, ideologies and real events than most viewers realize. Somehow, the writer managed to piece it all together in a highly thought-provoking script that asks many questions - questions that people of all races have asked. Unfortunately, most of those questions will remain unanswered by an audience that watches their television much more casually than the scriptwriter wrote this episode. It is a classic, and I hope one day it will be recognized for the honor it deserves. Fortunately the emotion of it, the unexpected twists, combined with the controversy is enough to grab and keep you glued to your seat right until the end, where an important part of the story takes place.
